Customer Benefits

Unsurpassed efficiency• Zero clearance fit between the two gaterotors and main screw rotor virtually eliminates

leakage between the high and low pressure sides during compression. Special gaterotormaterial made from multiple layers of an advanced composite, temperature stablematerial makes a zero clearance design possible.

• An internal economizer system enhances the unit's refrigeration effect providing moreBTUs per pound of refrigerant circulated. The result is higher efficiency and loweroperating costs when compared to typical chillers without economizers.

• The ALS screw compressors utilize a liquid refrigerant injection system, meaning only afraction of the oil is required when compared to oil injection systems. Oil drag that isfound in oil injected compressors has been eliminated. Less power is required to drivethe compression components (rotors) resulting in a more efficient unit.

• With the liquid injection design, the refrigerant vapor entering the condenser is at asaturated condition; no desuperheating takes place. This allows the condenser to be fullyutilized for condensing and operate more efficiently.

• The ALS air-cooled chiller is equipped with the most advanced means of refrigerantflow control available. An electronic expansion valve coupled with MicroTech fuzzylogic control provides excellent operating efficiencies both at full and part load operation.

Outstanding Reliability Features• Full factory testing of the unit with water hookups insures a trouble-free start-up.

Extensive quality control checks during testing insures that each safety and operatingcontrol is properly adjusted and operates correctly. Factory installed options minimizesfield expenses and startup labor.

• The rugged design of the single-screw compressor with its compliant gaterotors allows itto tolerate liquid slugging. The ALS screw chiller will start and operate under conditionsthat would destroy a reciprocating compressor.

• The elimination of many moving parts such as pistons, valves, connecting rods and oilpumps found on reciprocating compressors results in the enhanced reliability of thesingle-screw compressor.

• Due to symmetrical compression taking place on both sides of the main screw rotor,balanced forces result in the elimination of the large thrust loads inherent in twin-screwcompressors. Very low loading enhances the bearing and compressor durability andreliability.

• The liquid refrigerant injection design increases compressor reliability, as no large andexpensive oil separators are required. Recurring problems associated with oil injectionsystems are a thing of the past.

• Integral to the basic design of the single-screw compressor, the main screw rotor shaftand the gaterotor shafts cross at right angles in the compressor. The result is amplespace to locate heavy duty bearings and increase compressor reliability since nolimitations are placed on bearing design as found in twin-screw compressors.

• The compressor motor on the ALS screw chiller is liquid refrigerant cooled, allowingmotor operation at lower temperatures, enhancing system reliability and motor life whencompared to suction or discharge gas cooled designs.

• Recent technological advancements have made available a composite material thatprevents premature wear on the gaterotor. The composite material is made from amulti-layer carbon impregnated material designed for strength, temperature stability, anddurability.

Unmatched Serviceability• Field serviceability has not been sacrificed to meet design objectives for performance on

the ALS screw chiller. Inspection covers allow for an excellent visual inspection of themain screw and gaterotors.

• Compressors are located on the outside edges of the base allowing them to be easilyremoved from within the unit. This inherent unit design allows for quick access to thecompressors if necessary.

• Carefully laid-out refrigerant piping and components allow for excellent serviceability ofthe unit.

MicroTech , The Ultimate Control System• A fuzzy logic control system is employed in the ALS screw chiller that optimizes the

suction line superheat and the positioning of the electronic expansion valve at allcompressor capacities resulting in maximized operating efficiencies. Fuzzy logic controlis based on approximate reasoning that maintains tighter control of the system.

• The MicroTech chiller controller, already proven superior to all other chiller controlsystems on reciprocating and centrifugal chillers, is employed in the ALS screw chiller.This advanced microprocessor-based control maintains a precise and stable leavingevaporator temperature set point. Utilization of fuzzy logic means compressor cycling isminimized, reducing wear on both compressor and starting components.

• Stand-alone unit controls designed with the system operator in mind provide access tothe temperatures, pressures, set points, operating states, schedules, and alarm messages.The MicroTech controller includes password protection to guard against unauthorized oraccidental setpoint or parameter changes.

• Complete instrumentation with state of the art pressure transducers, temperature sensorsand optical liquid sensors for unparalleled operator information and diagnostics.

• Superior head pressure control that maximizes unit efficiency by determining optimumcondenser fan operation. At least 5 and as many as 7 stages of heat rejection per circuitare provided.

• An optional Remote Monitoring and Sequencing (RMS) panel provides monitoring andcontrol of remote chillers via a single twisted pair of wires. The RMS panel allows theuser to access information such as unit status, temperatures and pressures, all control setpoints, alarm conditions, time and date of alarm conditions, as well as the ability to clearalarms remotely. Up to three chillers can be sequenced and monitored from one RMSpanel.

• A personal computer equipped with optional MicroTech Monitor software can be used toprovide a high-level interface with the MicroTech controller. It can be connected to thecontroller either directly or remotely via phone lines with an optional modem.

• The optional MicroTech Network Master Panel (NMP) allows multiple screw chillercontrollers to be incorporated into a building-wide network with other MicroTech unitand auxiliary controllers. In conjunction with a personal computer, it provides thebuilding operator with the capability to perform advanced equipment control andmonitoring from a central or remote location.

• Open Protocol is a commitment from McQuay International to provide a cost effectivemeans to building automation through a strategic and joint effort with major temperaturecontrol companies. This optional feature provides an interface between one or multipleMicroTech controllers and the building automation system. The result is reducedinstallation costs, greater reliability and a seamless operator interface with all equipmentin the building.

Design Advantages

Ultra-low Sound LevelsThe issue of objectionable sound or "noise" can no longer be treated lightly as manufacturersmay have done in the past. To an owner, sound levels can be as important as unit efficiencyand must be addressed prior to the start of any development program. Concentrated effortsto design the quietest air-cooled chiller in the market has paid off with the ALS chiller line.Unique compressor and system design allow the ALS air-cooled chiller to produce soundlevels considerably lower than competitive reciprocating and twin-screw compressor units inthe market today.

The gaterotor material is manufactured from advanced engineered composite, and thedifference in material density and coefficient of elasticity from the main screw rotor reducesnoise levels through the compression chamber. The discharge housing is designed as a"tuned sound attenuator" to cancel out any noise pulsation. The liquid refrigerant injectiondesign eliminates the need for large oil separators that have traditionally transmittedunacceptable noise. Also, the liquid refrigerant that is used for liquid injection attenuatessound levels within the compressor.

Balanced Forces on CompressorThe single-screw compressor has a well-balanced compression mechanism which cancelsthe screw rotor load in both the radial and axial directions. Inherent to the basic single-screw compressor design is the virtually load free operation that gives main bearings adesign life 3-4 times greater than twin-screws, and eliminates expensive and complicatedthrust balancing schemes. The two exactly opposed gaterotors create two exactly opposedcompression cycles. Compression is made at the lower and upper parts of the screw rotorat the same time, thus canceling the radial loads. Also, both ends of the screw rotor aresubjected to suction pressure only, which cancels the axial loads and eliminates the hugethrust loads inherent in twin-screw compressors.

Figure 2, Balanced Forces

Reliable Bearing DesignSince the main rotor shaft and gaterotor shafts cross at right angles in the single-screwcompressor, sufficient space to locate each bearing is obtained. Because of this unique

Page 9: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 9

characteristic for the single-screw compressor, bearing life can be designed much highercompared to twin-screws.

Liquid Refrigerant Injection SystemAll screw compressors require a fluid to be injected into the compression area for theremoval of heat and to seal potential leakage paths. The McQuay ALS screw chilleremploys a liquid refrigerant injection system that increases compressor reliability since nolarge and expensive oil separators are required as found on oil injected compressors.

Oil injection systems result in a relatively large percentage of oil in the discharge gas. If notproperly managed, this oil flows through the refrigerant circuit decreasing performance ofthe heat exchangers as oil builds up in the system. To prevent heat exchanger performancedegradation, auxiliary equipment such as an oil pump, oil heater, oil cooler and a highperformance oil separator at the compressor discharge section may be required. In somecases, an oil scavenger system must also be employed to return oil to the compressor.

On the McQuay ALS screw chiller with the liquid refrigerant injection system, a portion ofthe subcooled liquid refrigerant from the condenser is injected into the screw rotor grooves.This provides an effective seal for compression, assures low discharge temperatures, andeliminates the need for expensive or unreliable equipment for oil extraction and control. Thiskeeps the devices around the compressor simple, dependable and compact.

Tolerant of Liquid ReturnTolerance to liquid return is provided by the heavy construction of the screw components andby McQuay's Compliant Gate feature. Should any liquid start to enter the main rotor, thebuild up of pressure immediately causes the gate rotor to rise off the main rotor againstspring pressure. This relieves the refrigerant pressure and the refrigerant is pumped out.When the refrigerant has been discharged, the spring returns the gaterotor returns to itsnormal position. As a matter of fact, the ALS single-screw compressor is designed to workwith liquid refrigerant all the time because of the sealing requirements. This increasessystem reliability because it permits normal operation under abnormal conditions that wouldbe catastrophic (liquid return) for many other compressor designs.

Economizer DesignThe ALS screw compressorincorporates an integraleconomizer where centrifugalforce is utilized to separate theflash gas from the liquidrefrigerant prior to it entering theevaporator. A small centrifugalliquid/vapor separator mountedon the rear of the compressorshaft achieves the separation.The economizer itself is withinthe envelope of the standardmotor housing.

Page 10: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

10 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

Low Vibration LevelsThe extremely low vibration levels, inherent with the single-screw design, will not passthrough system piping and allow objectionable resonated sound to be carried into the building.

Because the moving components in the McQuay ALS screw compressor are purelyrotational, the dynamic forces and vibration created by the system are very low. Thisreduced vibration results in less movement to refrigerant lines and other parts of the system.The vibration level will not exceed 0.14 in/sec (3.56 mm/sec).

Liquid Refrigerant-Cooled MotorThe compressor motor for the ALS screw chiller is liquid-refrigerant cooled. The liquidrefrigerant allows the motor to operate at lower temperatures and enhances system reliabilityand motor life when compared to suction gas-cooled designs found on twin-screw orcompetitor's reciprocating compressors.

Wide Application RangeThe capability to handle wide application ranges makes the ALS screw chiller a superiorchoice for comfort cooling, ice storage, and process applications. McQuay International hasbeen a proven leader in chiller applications and once again has developed a line of chillersunsurpassed in performance and quality.

Controls

MicroTech Controller Utilizing Fuzzy LogicMcQuay International has combinedmicroprocessor power and versatilityand our extensive experience in chillerdesign to create the MicroTech screwchiller controller utilizing a fuzzy logiccontrol system. The MicroTech controlprovides low maintenance, highperformance and energy efficientoperation that is so vital to profitablebuilding operation in the economicclimate of the 90s.

Fuzzy Logic ControlTraditional control systems on today's chillers do not adequately provide precisiontemperature control of the system. McQuay International has implemented an advanceddigital control method based upon fuzzy logic that maintains tighter and more stable control ofthe chiller system.

Conventional control logic operates on the true/false, black and white theory. However, inpractical applications everything is not black and white, but rather can be found somewherein between as shades of gray. Terms such as hot and cold in conventional controltechniques are replaced by ambiguous words like warm and cool. Fuzzy logic does notmaintain that a statement has to be true or false, but instead measures the degree of truth

Page 11: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 11

within the statement and begins to take action immediately. Unlike traditional controllers thatrely on a linear control theory, the fuzzy logic based system is based upon approximatereasoning with a set of fuzzy rules. Fuzzy rules are "if-then" statements with varyingdegrees of precision.

A simple analogy of a "if-then" statement could be a car in traffic. If the distance betweentwo cars is adequate, then the car behind will continue at the same speed. If the distancebetween the two cars increases, then the car in the rear can accelerate slowly. If thedistance between the two cars is reduced slightly, then the car behind brakes slowly. If thedistance between them is reduced quickly, then the car in the rear must brake much morequickly. Fuzzy logic operates on this same principle.

The MicroTech controller supplied on the ALS chillers utilizes fuzzy logic in the control ofsuction line superheat and the positioning of the electronic expansion valve in response tosystem load. Expansion valve hunting, not uncommon on traditional thermostatic expansionvalves, has been eliminated. Optimized superheat is maintained under all conditions providingexcellent control.

Proactive ControlThe Microtech Control continuously monitors all important system parameters and will takepreventative measures to avoid unit shutdown should a system unbalance or upset occur. Analarm circuit is energized under these circumstances.

Stand-alone Unit ControlsThe MicroTech unit controller is a microprocessor-based direct digital control systemdesigned to provide sophisticated monitoring and control. Designed with the system operatorin mind, the MicroTech controller features an easy to use 12-key keypad and 32-characterdisplay that provides access to temperatures, pressures, set points, operating states,schedules and alarm messages in either English or Metric units. The controller includespassword protection to guard against unauthorized or accidental set point or parameterchanges.

The MicroTech unit controller can be used as a stand-alone controller, or it can be integratedinto a MicroTech network by using the Network Master Panel or the Remote Monitoringand Sequencing Panel. Regardless of whether the controller is stand-alone or included in anetwork, an IBM-compatible computer containing MicroTech Monitor software can beconnected to give the operator full-screen unit monitoring and control capability.

Electronic Expansion ValveThe ALS air-cooled chiller is equipped with the mostadvanced means of refrigerant flow control available.An electronic expansion valve coupled with aMicroTech unit controller and fuzzy control logicprovide excellent operating efficiencies both at full andpart load operation.

Unlike conventional thermal expansion valves whichrequire a large pressure drop across the valve andresult in higher condenser head pressure, the electronicvalve does not need a large pressure drop across it tooperate effectively. During part load operation theelectronic valve allows the system to operate at lowercondensing pressure, minimizes suction line superheat

Page 12: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

12 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

and provides for a more stable system operation. Unit efficiencies are drastically improved.The electronic expansion valve is an excellent choice of control for the ALS chiller line,providing precise control with a very fast response time.

Optional Remote Monitoring and Sequencing PanelThe MicroTech Remote Monitoring and Sequencing (RMS) panel provides monitoring ofremote chillers via a single twisted pair of wires. The RMS panel allows the user to accessinformation such as unit status, temperatures and pressures, all control set points, alarmconditions, time and date of alarm conditions, as well as the ability to clear alarms remotely.The RMS panel is equipped with a keypad/display that is identical to the chiller controller'skeypad/display. With a special keystroke combination, the RMS keypad/display can beinterfaced with any chiller controller. It then operates identically to the chiller-mountedkeypad/display. Thus the operator has full access to all networked chillers from a singleremote location. Panel-mounted LEDs clearly indicate with which controller the RMS Panelkeypad/display is currently interfaced.

Any chiller alarm or loss of communication alarm that occurs will be indicated by a panel-mounted alarm LED. An alarm will also cause the panel-mounted annunciator to sound.The volume can be adjusted with a small potentiometer. Any alarm in the network can becleared at the RMS panel keypad.

Optional Personal Computer MonitoringA personal computer equipped with MicroTech Monitor software can be used to provide ahigh-level interface with the MicroTech controller. It can be connected to the controllereither directly or remotely via phone lines with an optional modem. If the controller is part ofa MicroTech network personal computer monitoring can be done via networkcommunications.

Optional Network Master PanelThe MicroTech Network Master Panel (NMP) allows multiple screw chiller controllers to beincorporated into a building-wide network with other MicroTech unit and auxiliarycontrollers. In conjunction with a personal computer, it provides the building operator withthe capability to perform advanced equipment control and monitoring from a central orremote location.

Optional Open ProtocolOpen Protocol is a commitment from McQuay International to provide a cost effectivemeans to building automation through a strategic and joint effort with major temperaturecontrol companies. Open Protocol provides an interface between one or multiple MicroTechcontrollers and the building automation system. The result is reduced installation costs,greater reliability and a seamless operator interface with all equipment in the building.

The MicroTech Open Protocol Master (OPM) panel is usually required to provide thetemperature control company a single-point connection when two or more MicroTechcontrollers are being networked with the temperature control company's system.

Selection Procedures

60 Hz - I-P UnitsThe Performance Data on the following pages are based on a 10 degree F (5.5 degree C)delta-T through the evaporator (2.4 gpm/ton). Adjustment factors for other delta-Ts can befound in Table 2. The minimum leaving chilled water temperature without glycol is 40.0°F(4.4°C). For brine selections refer to Table 1 for ethylene or propylene glycol adjustmentfactors. Ratings are based on a 0.0001 (0.0176) fouling factor in the evaporator and sealevel operation. For other fouling factors or elevations refer to Table 2.

For applications falling outside the catalog ratings contact your local McQuay salesrepresentative.

Selection Example

Given: 120 tons

95°F ambient air temperature, 2,000 foot elevation

288 gpm, 54°F to 44°F, 0.0001 evaporator fouling factor

1. Use the following formula to calculate any missing elements:

(gpm x delta-T) /24 = tons

2. From Performance Table 4, an ALS 125B at the given conditions will produce 123.0 tonswith a compressor kW input of 142.9 and a unit EER of 9.3. Correct for elevation fromTable 2:

Capacity: 123.0 tons x 0.986 = 121.3 tons

Power: 142.9 kW x 1.009 = 144.2 kW

EER = Output / Input = 9.3 x 0.986 / 1.009 = 9.1

3. Determine the evaporator pressure drop. Using Figure 3, enter at 288 gpm and follow upto the ALS 125B line intersect. Read horizontally to obtain an evaporator pressure dropof 17 ft.

Selection example utilizing ethylene glycol

Given:

145 tons,

54°F to 44°F chilled fluid temperature

0.0001 evaporator fouling factor.

Protect against freezing to 0°F

1. From Table 1 select an ethylene glycol concentration of 40% to protect against freezingat 0°F.

2. Adjustment factors at 40% glycol:

Capacity = 0.961,

Power = 0.976,

Flow = 1.121,

Pressure Drop = 1.263.

3. Divide the required capacity by the capacity adjustment factor to obtain necessaryadjusted capacity from the tables.

145 tons / 0.961 = 150.9 tons

4. Select an ALS 155B with a capacity of 154.0 tons and correct with 40% ethylene glycolfactors.

Correct capacity: 0.961 x 154.0 tons = 148.0 tons.

Correct compressor power: 0.976 x 177.8 kW = 173.5 kW

5. Correct chilled fluid flow:

Fluid flow (water) at 145 tons

gpm (water) = (tons x 24) / delta-T

gpm = (145 tons x 24) / 10 degrees = 348 gpm

Fluid flow (40% EG solution):

348 gpm(water) x 1.121 flow correction factor = 390 gpm(ethylene glycol)

6. Determine the evaporator pressure drop. Using Figure 3, enter at 348 gpm(water) andfollow to the ALS 125 line intersect. Read horizontally to obtain an evaporator pressuredrop of 16.8 ft.

7. Correct the pressure drop for 40% EG solution:

16.8 ft x 1.263 pressure drop correction factor = 21.2 ft for ethylene glycol.

Application Adjustment Factors

Ethylene and Propylene Glycol FactorsALS chiller units are designed to operate with a leaving chilled fluid temperatures of 21.0°Fto 50.0°F (-6.1°C to 10.0°C). Leaving chilled fluid temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C) resultin evaporating temperatures at or below the freezing point of water and a glycol solution isrequired. The use of glycol will reduce the performance of the unit depending on itsconcentration. This should be taken into consideration during initial system design. Onglycol applications the supplier normally recommends that a minimum of 25% solution byweight be used for protection against corrosion.

Altitude Correction FactorsPerformance tables are based on sea level altitude. At other than sea level the performanceof the unit will be decreased due to the lower air density. For performance at elevationsother than sea level refer to Table 2.

Evaporator Temperature Drop FactorsPerformance tables are based on a 10 degree F (5.6 degree C) temperature drop through theevaporator. Other delta-Ts will require adjustment factors found in Table 2. Temperaturedrops outside a 6 to 16 degree F (3.3 to 8.9 degree C) range may adversely affect thecontrol system's capability to maintain acceptable control and are not recommended.

The maximum water temperature that can be circulated through the evaporator in a non-operating mode is 100°F (37.8°C).

Fouling FactorPerformance tables are based on water with a fouling factor of 0.0001 (0.0176) per ARI550/590-98. As fouling is increased, performance decreases. For performance at otherfouling factors refer to Table 2.

Foreign matter in the chilled water system will adversely affect the heat transfer capabilityof the evaporator, and could increase the pressure drop and reduce the water flow. Toinsure optimum unit operation, proper water treatment and filtration must be maintained.

NOTES:1. Rated in accordance with ARI Standard 550/590. Shaded and bold ratings are certified in accordance with the ARI Water-Chilling Packages Using the

Vapor Compression Cycle Certification Program, which is based on ARI Standard 550/590.2. Units with remote evaporators are not included in the ARI Certification Program.3. Ratings based on HCFC-22, evaporator fouling factor of 0.0001, 10 degree delta-T, evaporator flow of 2.4 gpm/ton and sea level altitude.4. For units with SpeedTrol option multiply capacity and COP by 0.99.5. For units operating at 208 volt, multiply capacity by 0.98.6. Interpolation is allowed, extrapolation is not permitted. Consult McQuay for performance outside the cataloged ratings.7. KW input is for compressors only. EER is for the entire unit, including compressors, fan motors and control power. Total power to the unit can be

calculated by: kW = tons x 12 / EER8. Ratings are valid for operation on 3 phase, 60 Hz, and 208//230/380/460/575 volts.

Units with remote evaporators are not included in the ARI Certification Program.3. Ratings based on HCFC-22, evaporator fouling factor of 0.0001, 10 degree delta-T, evaporator flow of 2.4 gpm/ton and sea level altitude.4. For units with SpeedTrol option multiply capacity and COP by 0.99.5. For units operating at 208 volt, multiply capacity by 0.98.6. Interpolation is allowed, extrapolation is not permitted. Consult McQuay for performance outside the cataloged ratings.7. KW input is for compressors only. COP is for the entire unit, including compressors, fan motors and control power. Total power to the unit can be

calculated by: kW = kW(output) / COP.8. Ratings are valid for operation on 3 phase, 60 Hz, and 208//230/380/460/575 volts.9. Compressor loading and unloading is adaptively determined by system load, ambient air temperature, and other inputs to the MicroTech control

algorithms.

Sound Data

Sound levels are as important as unit cost and efficiency, and must be addressed before thestart of any project design. Efforts by McQuay design engineers to design chillers that aresensitive to the sound requirements of the market, combined with McQuay’s inherently quietrotary screw compressors, have paid off.

StandardsARI has established standards to provide uniform methods for the determination of the soundlevels of equipment. For large air-cooled chillers it is ARI Standard 370, Sound Ratings ofLarge Outdoor Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Equipment.

Background InformationSound is a vibration in an elastic medium and is essentially a pressure and particledisplacement phenomena. A vibrating body produces compression waves and as the wavesare emitted from the vibrating body, molecules are ultimately compressed. These values aretransmitted through gas, liquid, solids-anything which is elastic or viscous.

The sound data provided in this section is presented with both sound pressure and soundpower levels. Sound power is the total sound energy radiated by a source per unit of timeintegrated over the surface through which the sound is radiated. Sound power is acalculated quantity and cannot be measured directly like sound pressure. Sound power is notdependent on the surrounding environment or distance from the source.

Sound pressure varies with the distance from the source and is dependent on itssurroundings. For example, a brick wall located 10 feet from a unit will affect the soundpressure measurements differently than a brick wall at 20 feet. Sound pressure is measuredin decibels (dB), which is a dimensionless ratio (on a logarithmic scale) between measuredsound pressure and a reference sound pressure level.

Sound Pressure Levels - Full LoadAll sound pressure tables give the overall "A" weighted sound pressure levels which areconsidered typical of what may be measured in a free field with a hand held sound meter inthe absence of any nearby reflective surfaces. For air-cooled units, the sound pressurelevels are measured at 30 feet (10 meters) from the side of the unit at 100% unit load andARI conditions; 95°F (35°C) ambient air temperature and 54/44°F (12/7°C) chilled watertemperatures.

Sound Power LevelsAcoustical consultants may require sound power octave band data to perform a detailedacoustical analysis. Sound measurements are taken over a prescribed area around the unitand the data is mathematically calculated to give the sound power in dB.

ALS Sound DataSound power and sound pressure data for the ALS units can be found in Table 11 and Table12. More detailed information on sound attenuation, the effect of multiple unit installations,sound reflection from buildings, and other sound related subjects can be found in theMcQuay Application Manual, AM ALSWHS.

Sound Reduction Due to Distance from a UnitThe distance between a source of sound and the location of the sound measurement plays animportant role in minimizing sound problems. The equation below can be used to calculatethe sound pressure level at any distance if the sound power is known. Results for typicaldistances are tabulated in Table 13. Another way of determining the effect of distance is towork from sound pressure only. Figure 4 gives the reduction in sound pressure due todistance.

Sound pressure can be calculated at any distance from the unit if the sound power is known.

Lp=Lw-(20 log r) + (10 log Q) - .5

Lp = sound pressure

Lw = sound power

r = distance from unit in feet

Q = directionality factor

Figure 4, Sound Pressure Attenuation Due to Distance from Unit

Air-Cooled Unit Orientation to Minimize SoundThe ALS chiller’s sound is directional in nature allowing the contractor/engineer to positionthe unit to minimize potential noise problems. Because the sound pressure levels are lowerat both ends of the unit than at the sides, the chiller should be oriented such that the controlbox end or end opposite the control box faces the direction where the lowest sound level isrequired.

Page 29: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 29

The control box end provides an excellent acoustic barrier to the compressor sound as itcovers one full end of the unit. The sound pressure levels at the control box end will be 5dBA less than on the sides. On the end opposite the control box, the compressor sound isblocked by the coil structure, evaporator and naturally attenuated by distance as thecompressors are located approximately ¾ the length of the unit away from this end. Thesound pressure levels at the end opposite the control box will be 4 dBA less than on thesides.

Figure 5, Sound Directionality

Sound Pressure Levels, Low Ambient OperationAir-cooled unit operation below 95°F (35°C) will also result in lower sound pressure levels.The sound pressure level will decrease 1 dBA for ambient temperatures between 85-94°F(29.4-34.4°C), 2 dBA for ambient temperatures between 75-84°F (24-28.9°), and 3 dBA forambient temperatures between 65-74°F (18.3-23.3°C).

Sound Pressure Levels, Multiple UnitsMultiple air-cooled unit installations will have a higher sound level than a single unit on adoubling basis. Two units will have approximately 3 dB higher sound level of one unit, 4 unitswill be approximately 6 dB louder, and 8 units approximately 9 dB louder than one unit.

Sound Control, Air-Cooled UnitsWalls adjacent to a unit (20 feet {6.1meters} or less) will reflect soundoutwards, increasing the soundpressure on the side away from thewall. This sound increase could be ashigh as 3 dB for one wall and as highas 6 dB for a corner location. Unitorientation and/or distance as notedabove will decrease sound levels.Sound levels can also be controlled by the installation of barrier walls. To be effective assound blockers, walls must be solid with no open penetrations. Sound tends to leak out ofopenings. Block walls with filler material and slots on the side facing the unit are especiallyeffective. The wall should be about 10 feet high (two feet higher than the unit) and locatedat least 10 feet away so as not to affect unit performance. A three sided enclosure will bethe most effective solution and will reduce sound levels by about 10 dB. Remember that thewall will increase the sound level on the side opposite it by 3 to 6 dB (one or three sidedwall). Note: The effect of adjacent walls on air recirculation and restriction must always beconsidered when employing sound barrier walls. More complete information on soundattenuation can be found in Application Manual AM ALSWHS.

Electrical Data Notes1. Allowable voltage limits

Unit nameplate 208V/60Hz/3PH: 187V to 229VUnit nameplate 230V/60Hz/3Ph: 207V to 253VUnit nameplate 380V/60Hz/3Ph: 342V to 418VUnit nameplate 460V/60Hz/3Ph: 414V to 506VUnit nameplate 575V/60Hz/3Ph: 517V to 633V

2. Unit wire size ampacity (MCA) is equal to 125% of the largest compressor-motor RLAplus 100% of RLA of all other loads in the circuit including control transformer. Wiresize ampacity for separate 115V control circuit power is 15 amps for ALS125B throughALS280B.

3. Compressor RLA values are for wire sizing purposes only but do reflect normaloperating current draw at unit rated capacity. If unit is equipped with SpeedTrolcondenser fan motors, the first motor on each refrigerant circuit is a single phase, 1 hpmotor, with a FLA of 2.8 amps at 460 volts (5.6 amps at 208/230 volts). If the unit isnot equipped with SpeedTrol, the standard fan motor will be 1 1/2 hp, 3-phase (forALS125B-280B except ALS204 which will be 2 hp, 3-phase) with FLA as shown inthe electrical tables. For ALS300B-380B the standard fan motor will be 2 hp, 3-phaseand for ALS425B fan motor will be 2.5 hp, 3-phase.

4. Compressor LRA for reduced inrush start is for the first winding. If the unit is equippedwith SpeedTrol motors, the first motor on each refrigerant circuit is a single phase, 1 hpmotor, with a LRA of 7.3 amps at 460 volts (14.5 amps at 208/230 volts). If the unit isnot equipped with SpeedTrol, the standard fan motor will be 1 1/2 hp, 3-phase with aLRA as shown in the electrical tables.

5. Single point power supply requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to theunit. This power must be fused.

6. Multiple point power supply requires two independent power circuits on ALS125B-ALS204B, ALS300-ALS425 and three independent power circuits on ALS220B-ALS280B each with separate fused disconnects and a separate control circuit.

7. All field wiring to unit power block or optional nonfused disconnect switch must becopper.

8. Field wire size values given in tables apply to 75°C rated wire per NEC except forALS185B-ALS204B and ALS370B, ALS380B, ALS425B for 208V application or asnoted.

9. External disconnect switch(s) or HACR breakers must be field supplied. Note : Onsingle point power units a non-failure disconnect switch in the cabinet is available as anoption.

10. All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable local and national codes.11. Recommended time delay fuse size or HACR circuit breakers is equal to 150% of the

largest compressor motor RLA plus 100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sumof condenser fan FLAs.

12. Maximum time delay fuse size or HACR circuit breakers is equal to 225% of the largestcompressor-motor RLA plus 100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sum ofcondenser fan FLAs.

Installation and Application

RiggingCare should be taken to avoid dropping the unit during unloading or moving as this may resultin serious damage. Do not push or pull the unit from anything other than the base, and blockthe fork lift away from the unit to prevent damage to the sheet metal cabinet and end frame.Do not lift the unit with a fork lift truck. To lift the unit, two 2 1/2 inch (65mm) diameterlifting holes are provided in the base of the unit. Spreader bars must be used betweenrigging lines to prevent damage to the condenser coils or unit cabinet.

Unit PlacementFor roof mounted applications, the unit should be installed on a steel channel or I-beam frameto support the unit above the roof. For ground level applications, the unit should be installedon a substantial base that will not settle. A one piece concrete slab with footings extendedbelow the frost line is recommended. The foundation must be level within 1/2 inch (13mm)over its length and width and strong enough to support the unit's operating weight as listed inthe Physical Data tables.

On ground level applications fin protection against vandalism is recommended, either by theoptional factory installed condenser coil guard or a field installed screen fence. Note that thefence must allow free flow of air to the condenser coil for proper unit operation.

ClearancesSince these units are air cooled, the flow of air to and from the condenser coil must not beimpeded. Restricting unit airflow and air recirculation will result in a decrease in unitperformance and efficiency due to an increase in operating discharge pressures. Althoughthe MicroTech chiller control system will cycle fans or may unload compressors to maintainthe optimum system head, adequate clearances must be obtained. Warm air recirculationand condenser coil air starvation can be prevented with proper design.

There must be no obstruction above the unit that would tend to deflect discharge airdownward where it could be recirculated back to the inlet of the condenser coil. Thecondenser fans are propeller type and ductwork should not be applied to the fan outlet.Further information on air restriction can be found in Application Manual AM ALSWHS.

For lateral clearance considerations, the unit must be installed with sufficient clearance forair entrance to the coil and for servicing. Service access to the evaporator, compressors,electrical control panel and piping components must be provided as per the limitations inFigure 11 through Figure 13. Do not block access to sides or ends of unit with piping orconduit.

Debris should not be allowed to accumulate in the vicinity of the unit. Air movement maydraw debris into the condenser coil causing coil starvation. Special consideration should begiven to units installed in cold climates where snow accumulation is common. Condensercoils and fan discharge must be kept free of snow or other obstructions to permit adequateairflow for proper unit operation. Units mounted next to a building with a sloping roof mustbe protected from falling ice and snow.

Sound isolationThe ultra-low sound level for the ALS screw chiller satisfies most customer requirements.However, there may be applications where extremely low sound levels may be required.The most effective isolation method is to locate the unit away from sound sensitive areas.Avoid locations beneath windows or between structures where normal operating sounds maybe objectionable. Isolating water lines, electrical conduit and the unit itself can reducestructurally transmitted sound. Wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers can be usedto reduce transmission of water or pump noise into occupied spaces, and flexible electricalconduit can be used to isolate sound through electrical conduit. Spring isolators are effectivein reducing the low amplitude sound generated by screw compressors and can be used forunit isolation in sound sensitive areas.

Figure 13, Clearance Requirements, ALS 300B – ALS 425B

Notes:

1. Minimum side clearance between two units is 12 feet (3.7 meters).

2. Unit must not be installed in a pit or enclosure that is deeper or taller than the height ofthe unit unless extra clearance is provided per note 4.

3. Minimum clearance on each side is 8 feet (2.4 meters) when installed in a pit no deeperthan the unit height.

4. Minimum side clearance to a side wall or building taller than the unit height is 8 feet (2.4meters) provided no solid wall above 6 feet (1.8 meters) is closer than 12 feet (3.7meters) to the opposite side of the unit.

5. The removable post for compressor service access must not be blocked at either side ofthe unit.

6. Do not mount electrical conduits, etc, above the side rail on either side of the unit.

7. There must be no obstruction of the fan discharge.

Typical Chilled Water PipingThe return water line must be piped to the evaporator inlet connection (the connectionclosest to the compressors) and the supply water line must be piped to the evaporator outletconnection.

A flow switch must be installed in the horizontal piping of the supply (evaporator outlet)water line.

Page 58: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

58 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

Drain connections must be provided at all low points in the system to permit completedrainage of the system. Air vents must be located at the high points in the system to purgeair out of the system. A vent connection is located on top of the evaporator vessel under theinsulation to permit the purging of air out of the evaporator. Air must be purged from thewater system prior to unit start up to insure adequate flow through the vessel and to preventsafety cutouts on the freeze protection.

Pressure gauges must be installed in the inlet and outlet water lines to the evaporator.Pressure drop through the evaporator should be measured to determine proper flow fromFigure 3. Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water linesand must be used if the unit is mounted on spring isolators. Isolation valves in the chilledwater supply and return are required.

Chilled water piping should be insulated to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation.Chillers not operating in the winter should have the water systems thoroughly drained toprotect against freezing. If the chiller operates year-round, or if the system is not drained forthe winter, the chilled water piping exposed to outdoor air should be protected againstfreezing by wrapping the lines with a heater cable. An adequate percentage of glycol shouldbe added to the system to further protect the system during low ambient periods.

Figure 14, Typical Chilled Water Piping

Series vs. Parallel OperationSystem pressure drop must be considered when laying out the water piping. Parallel pipedchiller systems have one half of the total system flow going through the evaporator of eachchiller, keeping the individual unit and total system pressure drop relatively low. Series pipedevaporators require that the total system fluid flow through both evaporators. Not only is thepressure drop through each evaporator dramatically increased but the pressure drops mustbe added together to obtain the total evaporator pressure drop. Series piped evaporatorsnormally require larger circulating pumps for the chilled water system.

Temperature and Water Flow LimitationsALS units are designed to operate in ambient conditions from 40°F to 120°F (4°C to 50°C)with a low ambient option allowing operation down to 0°F (-18°C) using the optionalSpeedTrol control. The minimum ambient temperature is based on still conditions where the

Page 59: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 59

wind is not greater than five mph. Greater wind velocities will result in reduced headpressure, thus the minimum operating ambient temperature will increase. The ALS aircooled chillers are available with field installed wind baffles which allow the chiller to operateeffectively down to the ambient temperature for which it was designed.

The minimum and maximum evaporator flow rates are shown in Figure 3. Flow rates belowthe minimum values may result in laminar flow causing poor heat transfer, scaling and poorcontrol. Flow rates above the maximum values will result in unacceptable pressure dropsand may cause excessive nozzle and tube erosion, potentially leading to failure.

Evaporator Freeze ProtectionEvaporator freeze protection can be a concern in the application of air-cooled water chillerswith onboard evaporators. To protect against freeze-up, insulation and an electric heatercable are provided as standard, protecting the evaporator down to -20°F (-29°C) ambient airtemperature. Although the evaporator is equipped standard with freeze protection, it doesnot protect water piping external to the unit or protect the evaporator in the event of a powerfailure or heater cable burnout. The following recommendations may be considered foradditional protection:

1. Drain the evaporator and chilled water piping if the unit will not be operated during thewinter. Drain and vent connections are provided on the evaporator to facilitate draining.

2. Add a glycol solution to the chilled water system to provide antifreeze protection.Freeze point should be approximately ten degrees below minimum design ambienttemperature. Excessive glycol concentrations should be avoided, 50 percent maximumfor ethylene glycol and 35 percent maximum for propylene glycol is recommended.

The evaporator heater cable is wired to the 115 volt circuit in the control box. It isrecommended that this power be supplied from a separate source, but it may be suppliedfrom the control circuit. Operation of the heater cable is automatic through the ambientsensing thermostat that energizes the evaporator heater cable for protection against freeze-up. Unless the evaporator is drained in the winter, the disconnect switch to the evaporatorheater must not be open.

Alternately, the evaporator on all ALS units can be remotely mounted indoors. This removesthe chilled water from a freezing environment and eliminates the potential for freezing. Seethe following Remote Evaporator section for details.

Electrical Connections

All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable local and national codes.

ALS units may be ordered with internal power wiring for either single or multiple pointpower connections. If single point power connection is ordered, a single power terminalblock is provided and wiring within the unit is sized in accordance with the U.S.A. NationalElectrical Code. A single field supplied disconnect is required. If multiple point power wiringis ordered, two power connections are required for ALS 125B - ALS 204B and ALS 300B -ALS 425B. Three power connections are required for ALS 220B - ALS 280B. Wiringwithin the unit is sized in accordance with the U.S.A. National Electrical Code. Separatefield supplied disconnects are required for each circuit.

Page 60: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

60 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

Disconnecting means are addressed by Article 440 of the U.S.A. National Electrical Code(NEC) which requires "disconnecting means capable of disconnecting air conditioning andrefrigerating equipment including motor-compressors, and controllers from the circuitfeeder." The disconnect switch should be selected and located within the NEC guidelines.Maximum recommended fuse sizes are given in the electrical data tables of this catalog forhelp in sizing the disconnect.

ALS units have single or multiple factory installed main power supply connection pointswhich require one, two, or three main power supply disconnect switches, supplied by others.For recommended copper power lead wire sizes, refer to the Electrical Data Tables.

Terminals are provided in the unit control center for field hookup of the control circuit to a115 volt power supply. An optional control circuit transformer is available, factory installed,to eliminate the requirement for a separate power supply to the control circuit.

Terminals are provided in the unit control center for field hookup of the evaporator heater toeither a separate 115 volt power supply or to control circuit power.

Remote Evaporator

GeneralThe multiple compressor ALS air-cooled chillers are available with remote evaporator. Thisallows the main unit to be installed outdoors to save interior room and eliminates the need foranti-freeze solutions and heat tracing of chilled water lines since the chilled water system isindoors. There are some general guidelines to review before proceeding:

1. R-22 only.

2. Maximum line length of 50 ft (15 m) and Total Equivalent Length (TEL) of 120 ft(37 m).

3. Evaporator not more than 6 ft (1.8 m) above the compressor or 16 ft (5 m) belowcompressor.

4. No underground piping.

5. No hot gas bypass.

6. Units with remote evaporator are not included in the ARI Certification Program.

The remote evaporator is shipped separately, ready for quick and easy installation at the jobsite. All refrigerant accessories such as liquid-vapor line shut-off valves, replaceable corefilter-driers, liquid line solenoid valves, electronic expansion valves, and sightglasses arealready included on the ALS condensing unit. The evaporator is equipped with entering andleaving chilled water temperature sensor wells. The sensors are pre-wired to the ALS unitwith 75 feet long sensor leads that must be field connected to the evaporator thermowells.Suction pressure transducers and temperature sensors must also be relocated to theevaporator. ALS units are shipped with a holding charge of refrigerant. Field piping must beleak tested, evacuated and the entire unit charged during installation. Do not exceed 150psig test pressure unless the unit is blanked off from the piping.

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 61

Performance Derate FactorsAll performance tables and adjustment factors found in this catalog are applicable for remoteevaporator installations, however, a performance derate must be applied to the R-22performance data due to additional pressure drops in the suction and liquid lines which causea loss of compressor performance. These derates are based on a suction line pressure dropequivalent of approximately 2°F (1°C) change in saturation temperature.

For R-22 applications:

Capacity = Tons(kW) x 0.97

Power = Compressor kW x 0.99

Suction Lines

General

Careful design of the refrigerant piping is necessary for efficient system operation. Therefrigerant piping should be designed for a low pressure drop to obtain maximum capacityand efficiency while maintaining adequate velocity. Lines should slope in the direction offlow to assure good oil return to the compressors. Cost considerations favor keeping linesizes as small as possible while not exceeding acceptable pressure drops in order to maintainunit performance.

NOTE

All refrigerant piping must be reviewed by McQuay Application Engineersprior to order entry and will be verified by McQuay startup technicians.

Suction line sizing

Pressure drop in the suction line reduces system capacity and efficiency because it forcesthe compressor to operate at lower suction pressure. The suction line should be sized for apressure drop approximately equivalent of 2°F (1°C) change in saturation temperature. Forsuction line sizing see Table 33 through Table 35. For applications with the evaporator belowthe ALS unit, the vertical section of the suction lines must be sized to return oil to thecompressors at the minimum compressor capacity step.

Example of Suction Line Size Calculation

ALS140B condensing unit with refrigerant R-22

Evaporator located 5 feet below the ALS compressor.

Lineal length of horizontal suction line is 25 feet

Suction line requires 7 long radius (90°) elbows; 3 in the horizontal, 4 in the riser

From Table 33, the nominal circuit capacities for circuit 1 and 2 are 65 and 80 tonsrespectively

Total lineal suction line length = 30 feet each circuit (25 feet horizontal plus 5 feetvertical riser). For the first try, assume that the total equivalent suction line length istwice the lineal suction line length.

Therefore the estimated total equivalent suction line length = 60 feet

Page 62: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

62 ALS 125B - 425B Product Manual ALS-2

From Table 34 and Table 35, For nominal circuit capacities of 65 & 80 tons and equivalentline length of 60 ft, the suction line size = 2 5/8" for horizontal lines and 2 1/8" for verticallines.

From Table 38, Fitting loss for 2 5/8" long radius (90°) elbow = 4.1 ft, and 3.3 ft for the 2 1/8elbows.

Therefore fitting loss in equivalent feet of pipe for (3) 2 5/8" long radius (90°) elbow =12.3 ft, and 13.2ft for (4) 2 1/8" elbows.

Therefore the actual equivalent suction line length = 30 + 12.3 + 13.2 = 55.5 feet

From Table 34 and Table 35, For nominal circuit capacities of 65 & 80 tons and equivalentline length of 55.5 ft the suction line size is correct.

Liquid-Vapor LinesThe liquid-vapor line from the ALS condensing unit to the evaporator liquid connection is nota conventional liquid line since it carries both liquid and vapor. The compressors on the ALSunits utilize a liquid cooled motor and an economizer. Therefore the expansion valve whichfeeds the full flow of liquid refrigerant into the compressor for motor cooling is mounted inthe liquid line between the condenser sub-cooling coil and the compressor inlet; not at theevaporator inlet. The liquid-vapor line to the evaporator is a low pressure line downstreamof the expansion valve and the size is slightly larger than a normal liquid line. For liquid linesizing see Table 36 and Table 37.

InsulationAll piping joints and fittings must be thoroughly leak tested before insulation is applied.Suction lines must be insulated and should not be installed underground. Suction lineinsulation must be selected to prevent condensation under local ambient conditions with thelines at 40°F to 50°F (4.4°C to 10°C) operating temperatures. The liquid-vapor lines willoperate at 40°F to 60°F (4.4°C to 15.6°C) and must also be insulated to prevent sweatingand heat gain.

Page 64: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

Location and ArrangementRefrigerant lines should be as short and direct as possible to minimize tubing and fittings.Long radius elbows must be used (except for traps) to minimize the pressure drops. Trapsshould be as short as possible to minimize oil accumulation. Refrigerant piping should bearranged so that normal inspection of the equipment is not hindered. Adequate clearanceshould be provided between refrigerant piping and adjacent walls for insulation. Pipingshould be run so that it does not interfere with compressor service access, passages orobstruct headroom, windows and doors. Suction line hangers must be sized and located tosupport the weight of the piping in accordance with good piping practice.

Suction and liquid-vapor connection points for each circuit are labeled to facilitate fieldpiping. Care must be exercised in routing the piping to avoid mixing piping from differentcircuits. The circuits on the outdoor ALS unit must match the circuits on the evaporator (i.e.circuit #1 on the outdoor ALS unit must be connected with circuit #1 on the evaporator).

Horizontal portions of the suction lines must be downward sloping toward the compressors.Slope all piping in the direction of flow. Vertical portions of the suction lines must be sizedfor oil return at minimum compressor load.

Note: Double section risers must not be utilized on any circuit. Traps must be provided asshown on Figure 15 and Figure 16.

Equivalent Line LengthsRecommended refrigerant line sizes are based on equivalent line lengths of straight pipe, thatis, a combination of straight pipe, fittings and valves. The pressure drop through valves andfittings is determined by establishing the equivalent straight length of pipe of the same sizewith the same friction loss. The "Total Equivalent Length" is the sum of the "Lineal LineLength" and the appropriate "Valve and Fitting Losses in Equivalent Feet of Pipe for FieldSupplied Piping" given in Table 38.

NOTE: Keep the trap width at a minimum to avoid trapping excessive oil.

Startup ProceduresNOTE: McQuayService or an authorized McQuay service agent must do initial start-up andcommissioning.

Filter DriersFollowing an initial 24 hour operation the pressure drop across the replaceable core, filterdrier should be checked. If this pressure drop exceeds the values given in Table 39 at thevarious load conditions the filter drier cores must be replaced. Also if the moisture indicatingsight glass shows a wet system condition after 24 hours of operation the filter cores must bechanged. This should remove any contaminants introduced during field piping. The filterdrier cores must also be changed anytime the system is opened for servicing.

Refrigerant and Oil ChargeThe relative position of the ALS unit and the evaporator and the distance between themplays a critical role in determining suction and liquid line sizes and the field refrigerant and oilcharges. ALS units with the remote evaporator option are shipped with a factory refrigerantand oil charge suitable for the normal packaged unit. It will be necessary to add refrigerantand oil for the added connecting piping to the remote evaporator. See Table 40 forrefrigerant charge for suction and liquid-vapor lines. McQuayService will supply and add theadditional oil required by the refrigerant piping. The correct oil is Planetelf ACD68AW,McQuay Part No. 735030439 (5 gal.), 735030438 (1 gal.).

Charging Procedure

The calculated refrigerant and oil charge must be added through the factory suppliedcharging valve located on the liquid-vapor line coming out of the compressor. Sufficientcharge must be added to clear the liquid line sight glass located at the outlet of thecondenser. Add an extra 10 lb. of refrigerant after the sight glass is clear. Note : Chargemust never be added through the compressor suction line.

Oil Charge Calculation

Total Field Oil Charge = 4% by weight of the field refrigerant charge added to the suctionand liquid-vapor lines.

Note: For every 10 lb. (160 oz) of refrigerant charge added, a 6.4 oz (equal to 0.4 pint fluidmeasure) oil charge is required.

Example: (In I-P Units)

Total suction line lineal length = 20 ft.; Suction line size = 2 5/8 in.

Total liquid-vapor line lineal length = 30 ft.; Liquid-Vapor line size = 1 5/8

From Table 40 obtain the suction and liquid-vapor line refrigerant charge

Refrigerant charge required in the suction line = 1.0 lb.

Refrigerant charge required in the liquid-vapor line = 15.0 lb.

Total Refrigerant charge required in the suction and liquid-vapor line = 16.0 lb.

Total Oil Charge = 4% by weight of the total field refrigerant charge added to the suctionand liquid-vapor lines = 10.3 oz (0.6 pint)

Notes:

1. The only approved oil is that identified on the label attached to the compressors. AllPOE oils are hygroscopic and care should be exercised in handling the oil to avoidabsorption and retention of moisture.

2. Do not leave the oil container open for more than a minute while charging oil. Do notuse oil that has not been properly sealed and stored.

3. The evaporator is supplied without heater.

Standard Features

Full Factory TestingFactory run tests with water hookups on all units prior to shipment help insure a trouble freestart-up. Each unit is pressure tested, evacuated, and charged with a full operating charge ofrefrigerant and oil. Extensive quality control checks and individual unit tests insure that allcontrols are properly adjusted and operating correctly. Job site start-up and expenses arekept to a minimum as the unit is shipped ready to operate.

RiggingDesigned for easy handling and low installation costs, the ALS air-cooled screw chillers areassembled on a rugged galvanized steel channel base. The channel base distributes the unitweight for uniform low roof loading. Lifting holes are provided in the base of the unit tosimplify installation.

Cabinet ConstructionThe unit casing and all structural members and rails are fabricated of continuous G90galvanized steel and galvanized steel channel. The galvanized coating is applied to the basemetal by the hot dip process and conforms to standard ASTM A525. The exterior casing isphosphatized and painted with a beige urethane finish.

CompressorsAll units feature multiple compressors with independent refrigerant circuits. The compressoris a direct drive, 3600 rpm, single-screw type with one main screw rotor that meshes withtwo diametrically opposed gaterotors. The two exactly opposed gaterotors create twoexactly opposed compression cycles resulting in a well balanced compression cycle.

The compressor utilizes an internal economizer to enhance the unit's refrigeration effect andto allow the compressor to run at a more efficient operating point. During the economizercycle vapor produced at the electronic expansion valve and motor cooling process isredirected to the rotor inlet, while the remaining liquid refrigerant flows to the evaporator.

Unlike twin-screw designs, the ALS single-screw compressor uses liquid refrigerant insteadof oil to seal the rotors. The oil management concerns associated with oil injection systemsare a thing of the past.

The electric motor is semi-hermetic, squirrel cage induction type and cooled by liquidrefrigerant. This allows the motor to operate at lower temperatures enhancing systemreliability and motor life when compared to suction gas cooled motors found on reciprocatingand twin-screw compressors.

Each compressor is equipped with suction and discharge shutoff valves to facilitate servicework.

EvaporatorThe evaporator is a direct expansion, shell-and-tube type with water flowing in the baffledshell and refrigerant flowing through the tubes. Independent refrigerant circuits within theevaporator serve each compressor.

Page 73: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 73

The evaporator is constructed with a carbon steel shell and seamless high efficiency coppertubes. Roll expansion anchors the refrigerant tubes in the heavy carbon steel tube sheets.

Refrigerant heads are constructed of carbon steel and are removable to permit access to thetubes from either end. For easy draining and venting of the shell, 3/8 inch vent and drainplugs are provided on the top and bottom of the shell.

The evaporator is wrapped with an electric resistance heater cable (except remoteevaporators) and insulated with ¾ inch thick vinyl nitrate polymer sheet insulation to providefreeze protection down to 20°F (-29°C) ambient air temperature. An ambient thermostatcontrols the heater cable. (Note : A water flow switch must be field installed to protectagainst evaporator freeze-up under low water flow conditions.)

The evaporator insulation has a K factor of 0.28 at 75°F (24°C). The insulation is fitted andcemented in place, then painted with a resilient vinyl base paint to resist cracking.

The tube side maximum working pressure is 300 psi (2068 kPa). The water side workingpressure is 175 psi (1207 kPa). All evaporators are designed, constructed, inspected andstamped in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure VesselCode.

Condenser Fans and MotorsMultiple direct-drive propeller fans operate in formed bell shaped orifices at low tip speedsfor maximum static efficiency and minimum noise and vibration. Each fan is protected by aheavy-gauge close meshed fan guard and is positioned within the unit cabinet for maximumprotection against the elements.

A heavy-duty, 3-phase motor with permanently lubricated ball bearings and inherent overloadprotection drives each condenser fan. Factory fusing provides positive protection from shortcircuiting.

Condenser CoilsThe condenser coils are constructed with internally enhanced seamless copper tubesarranged in a staggered row pattern and mechanically expanded into McQuay lanced andrippled aluminum fins with full fin collars. The fins have full drawn collars to completelycover the copper tube for protection against atmospheric corrosion and provide excellentheat transfer. An integral subcooler with a liquid sightglass on the inlet provides sufficientsubcooling to effectively eliminate the possibility of liquid flashing and increase unitefficiency.

Control CenterThe ALS screw chiller is shipped with all operating and safety controls and motor startingequipment factory wired, operationally tested, and ready for service. All controls arecentrally located in a NEMA type 3R weatherproof, hinged control center, with key lockeddoors to prevent unauthorized entry. Panel access doors include steel rod door retainers toprevent flapping while open. Dead front panels protect service personnel from accidentalcontact with line voltage components.

Optional Features

Control circuit transformerFor applications where a separate 115 volt power source is not available, the transformer isfactory installed and wired between the line voltage power terminal block and the 115 voltcontrol circuit.

Delta-delta reduced inrush startDelta-delta start works on the same principle as part winding start. It works in conjunctionwith the unit's standard compressor sequence start timers to reduce current inrush byproviding 2-step starting of each compressor.

Low ambient head pressure controlOptional SpeedTrol head pressure control permits unit operation down to 0°F (-18°C)ambient. However, since the actual minimum ambient can be dependent on wind conditions,wind baffles are also available.

Disconnect switchA factory installed nonfused disconnect switch is available on all units. The disconnectswitch is properly sized for model and voltage required.

Phone modemAn optional 9600 baud modem interface is available which allows the operator to control (ormonitor) all chiller operations from a remote location through standard phone lines.

Ice storageThe unit can be equipped with control logic to handle the low temperatures associated withthermal storage applications. In addition to the change within the controller, the unit issupplied with additional evaporator insulation to prevent any loss of efficiency throughcondensation.

Copper fin condenser coilsCopper fin condenser coils are available as an option on all models.

Baked epoxy condenser fin coatingElectro Fin flexible dip and bake epoxy protective coating with 3000+ hour salt sprayresistance (ASTM B117-90) is available on the condenser coils and coil frames. Providesprotection against adverse environments such as salt air as found on sea coast applicationsand many chemical environments. Consult factory for complete specification and chemicalresistance chart.

Protective coil or base guardsOptional factory installed wire mesh coil guards and base guards provide protection forground level installations.

Page 75: Air-Cooled Rotary Screw Chillers

Product Manual ALS-2 ALS 125B - 425B 75

Wind bafflesThe presence of wind will have an adverse affect on any air-cooled chiller. Wind across acondenser coil will not allow a chiller to operate as efficiently, or possibly not even start, atlow ambient temperatures. Wind in effect raises the minimum ambient temperature in whichthe chiller can operate. The ALS air-cooled chillers are available with field installed windbaffles which allow the chiller to operate effectively down to the ambient temperature forwhich it was designed.

Hail guardsHail can have a damaging effect on the performance of an air-cooled condenser. As thefinned area is flattened against the coil, restricting airflow, the efficiency of the coil isreduced. Hail guards are available for field installation to completely cover the coil finnedarea. The hail guards will also protect the coil from wind.

Totally enclosed fan cooled condenser fan motorsTEFC condenser fan motors are available as an option in lieu of the standard open drip-proof(ODP) fan motors when required by the application. When low ambient SpeedTrol isordered the number 1 condenser fan motor on each refrigerant circuit will still be open drip-proof.

Unit amps sensor packageA unit amp sensor package can be provided which will display the percent of total unit ampdraw at any given time.

115 volt convenience outletA 10.0 amp 115 volt convenience outlet mounted inside the control panel is available as anoption on all units.

Ground fault protectionA ground fault interrupter can be provided to shut down the entire unit if a ground faultcondition is sensed.

Water flow switchA water flow switch is available for field installation in the chilled water piping to preventevaporator freeze up under low or no flow conditions. Terminals are provided in the unitcontrol center for field hook up of the water flow safety switch.

Vibration isolatorsSpring vibration isolators are available for field installation under the unit base frame onsound sensitive applications.
